@evacide@hachyderm.io Flock really posted a “wElL aCkShUlLy” response to the EFF claims and spent the entire article explaining how they use loopholes and the letter of the law to bypass civil liberties and the spirit of the law. We need to keep pushing legislation to ban their surveillance model and rallying our local governments to terminate contracts. Edit: This is a fantastic step towards curtailing their overreach. I’m excited for more victories ahead.

@ApostateEnglishman@mastodon.world @stux@mstdn.social Something like this? https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/High-End-Laser-Bird-Repellent-520nm_1600801785332.html

@bagder@mastodon.social Some of us have probably run out of spoons by this point in the week. It’s only Thursday and I am tired already.

@marielgm@mastodon.mit.edu @evacide@hachyderm.io I think it would be nifty if we could geotag our Fediverse posts and thus be able to find recent posts near me (chronological posts within a fixed distance). Would bring back that concept, albeit not as widespread as Twitter was.

@spacelizard@aus.social @smsm1@mastodon.green @sundogplanets@mastodon.social The semi has nothing to do with the truck. It refers to the semi-trailer, which lacks the front axel of a full trailer. Those semi-trailers are then pulled by tractor trucks, which are trucks designed to haul trailered loads. Connect a tractor truck to a semi-trailer, and you’ve got a tractor trailer. It allows you to cleanly describe either component separately or both together.

@CausticHarmony@mastodon.social @Bette@mstdn.social If ya gonna slop research, the least you can do is actually read the slop, look up the sources, and verify the information before saying “AI suggested X. I checked the synopsis on Wikipedia and it looks like your book.”

@starraven @Spirit @danyork They took precautions against your potential harms towards them. I think them not having to worry about having you as a customer was the point of the sign.

@teadrinker@aus.social @superball@norcal.social @sundogplanets@mastodon.social I say either, depending on the context, the day, and my mood. I probably also match the pronunciation of the person I’m speaking with. They both feel correct to me, so it’s whatever happens.

@FreakyFwoof@universeodon.com @TechTangents@dialup.space AI is also useful for IT. By using it to watch for patterns that can allow you to mitigate issues before they cascade. I had an issue with storage latency causing what appeared as a memory leak on my SMB container, and I was struggling to solve it until I fed the logs live to a locally run AI. Once the next crash happened, I had a timeline of relevant needles plucked from the haystack. That said, I’m still predominantly opposed to generative AI. Most uses for it just result in noise that spams our senses. Plus they’ve been trained on uncompensated human labor, and are being used to degrade the living conditions of real humans. I’m not opposed to using technology to replace human labor, when done in a society that provides for those humans. Capitalism is not the society that provides for those displaced humans, nor is art a labor to be automated.

@Jeroen89@mastodon-belgium.be The difference between 1850 and 1950 is apocalyptic. The extermination of trees for logging, the near extinction of the American chestnut trees, and the introduction of kudzu. We’ve been tampering with forests for far longer though: https://www.americanforests.org/article/north-american-forests-in-the-age-of-man/

@LoganFive That’s because those jobs are in high demand. They rarely get offered to the public and are almost always filled using nepotism.

@madduci @QasimRashidhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/25/health/pepfar-hiv-aids-zambia.html https://zm.usembassy.gov/senior-u-s-delegation-charts-new-course-for-u-s-health-assistance-in-zambia/ https://healthgap.org/zambias-draft-memorandum-of-understanding-with-the-u-s-government-what-do-we-know/ https://www.moh.gov.zm/?p=7493 https://africa.businessinsider.com/local/markets/zambia-joins-the-list-of-african-countries-rejecting-the-us-strings-attached-health/g6357jx A solid variety for you. I searched “USA Zambia Health” and filtered for results in the last year.

@sundogplanets @ZenHeathen That’s a perfect reason to find one willing to represent your people.

@LisaMaesie@nutmeg.social This photo makes it look like their bodies have the same phenomenon.

@dr_jo_mue@troet.cafe @xyla@shitpost.trade I calculated an average of 130km/h using a rough travel distance/time of 585km and 4.5h. The former is using car directions and the latter is what maps report the train takes. That’s a far cry from 300km/h.

@panda@pandas.social @BenjaminHCCarr@hachyderm.io if only we could get them to crawl in and eat the actual material, Andromeda Strain style.

@Albi @catsalad I wonder how they work as a chair.

@karlauerbach @Bodling As a younger person, I also love Apple for doing that. It makes 2FA bearable, so long as it’s my phone that I need the code for.

@NaahraTheScaled@furry.engineer @vantablack@cyberpunk.lol I’ll wait for Klitoris-ng Edit: Might use Klitarr instead, that way it can run automatically based on a schedule pulled from APIs instead.

@kw217@mathstodon.xyz @Nonilex@masto.ai No, because valuing and respecting it is not the goal, nor is cost savings. The goal is the destruction of science that can prove fossil fuels are doing long-term damage to the environment. Right now, the Republican administration would pay good money to destroy other countries’ climate science programs if they could.

@Mae@is.badat.dev @colinpurrington@flipping.rocks Mosquitoes, and the plethora of ailments they can transmit, are capable of causing even more deaths than we can do to ourselves on an average year. Malaria, yellow fever, dengue fever, human botflies that burrow into your skin to breed, worms that cause disfigurement, and more. Many of them are rarely acquired, treatable, and/or regional, but mosquitoes have a knack for spreading disease.

@MadCowKastor iPad kids. They sit there and absorb the WiFi signals, don’t they? You can prove they need the WiFi by briefly turning it off and observing the result.

@vfrmedia@social.tchncs.de @tehstu@hachyderm.io @tinker@infosec.exchange That’s why you squeeze like hell next to their driver door. If you’re wild, you could even make sure they can’t back out without hitting your mirror. Of course you should also make sure to take a picture showing your undamaged car, where the line is, and what their plate number is. I don’t give a damn about my paint, so I am happy to teach them a lesson. If I get money out of it, that’s even better.

@bedbanana@infosec.exchange @eff@mastodon.social I just went to their site, grabbed the link, downloaded NetNewsWire, added the feed, and searched for this article to pull it up via RSS. Took me a solid two minutes because I was petting a cat with my other hand. You may want to check your settings; you’re definitely doing something wrong.

@GossiTheDog Oh, phew. I thought this was an RCE impacting Wiz lightbulbs.

@eff Is that what qualifies as a budget these days? No wonder the government can’t get their shit together.

@tobyond@ruby.social @Techaltar@mas.to Legally? No. I have faith that age gate bypassing will be easy and common though. I just hope that enough people care to boycott it (spoiler: they don’t)

@pixelworship@gamepad.club Ferb, I know what we’re gonna do today. Looks like I’m installing Morrowind on Linux. I’ve been riding out the Win10 extended security updates, but that ends (for me) in October.

@Techaltar@mas.to Press X To Doubt

@SmudgeTheInsultCat@mas.to That’s AI.

@JoscelynTransient I was gonna say Hawaii and Puerto Rico were left out. Florida and Texas are both in the South IMO.

@Unixbigot “Devices that use bluetooth have their own unique serial number called a MAC address. Most mobiles, like Apple iPhones, have built-in privacy features that randomise the code and make them harder to track.” Most annoying feature of an iPhone. I just started reading, but I hope this isn’t an entire article about looking at nearby Bluetooth devices.

@0xabad1dea Odin is in T-Rex mode for that first photo

@DJGummikuh@mastodon.social @alice@lgbtqia.space If someone tells you they were sexually assaulted, do you ask them to describe the exact details of the assault to confirm *judicially* whether the assault was sexual in nature? Because that’s effectively where you’re at right now, and it’s really not making you look good. The grave is getting dug, and you are the one digging it.

@Primavera@void.lgbt @SmudgeTheInsultCat@mas.to I want to see that meme now

@jwcph@helvede.net @TheBreadmonkey@beige.party The start is almost entirely silent, and they start moving at slightly different times. Once they get going, you can see the field is quite empty except for competitors. It’s still quiet enough that you can hear birds chirping. By the time they get to the first corner, the crowd begins cheering; it’s light enough to pick out individual cheers and claps. By the time the woman walks across the view in the middle of the race, you’re already convinced it’s a calm day.

@teledyn@mstdn.ca I’m confused by your terminology. You are saying that you added a show, it was misidentified, you did something, there are now two listings for that folder, and now you can’t undo it?

@ChristosArgyrop@mastodon.social Zero unusable GPUs, as many as eight or ten SAS hard drives, and no server RAM. The hard drives are iffy because they wouldn’t be for my systems, but rather ones I manage. If the bubble pops today, zero. If the bubble pops in a year or two, they might be finally ready to spend a little.

@tobiasgies@chaos.social @hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange No, no, no… That says DURING the events of the WHCA dinner. He held a press briefing during the dinner in which he made those statements.

@ryanc@infosec.exchange @shlee@aus.social If hot, why not?

@catsalad@infosec.exchange I think the orange & white kitten won. They got their opportunity to jump onto the orange kitten without looking suspicious.

@trebach@functional.cafe @stux@mstdn.social Corporate journalism has really fallen in the dumpster. They can’t even use correct grammar anymore. The appropriate form of the word is “corrupt” not “corruption”.

@yngmar@social.tchncs.de @wmd@chaos.social It’s also got DVI-D Dual Link instead of Integrated, but I think that can be excused by the variety of other analog options.

@aburka@hachyderm.io @Daojoan@mastodon.social Also you’ve lived the product so deeply during development that you can never view it the same way as someone else who sees it for the first time. There’s a reason some actors never watch their own films. Being a video editor is psychological torture depending on your relationship to the media. All of the magic is ruined when you watched every scene a hundred times. Bonus: You thought you liked that song? Now you’ve heard it a hundred times in this one scene and it is permanently linked to that moment. The song could come on the radio for the first time in fifteen years and it will trigger that one scene in your brain. You can’t forget it.

@nobsagile@mastodon.social @jpm@aus.social This is the equivalent of offering alcohol to sober people who were in the middle of complaining about how alcohol ruins people’s lives. Did you read the room before shitposting?

@isocat@tiggi.es @dezon@chaos.social @tinker@infosec.exchange I can assure you they’ve already thought of that. You can collect your vehicle from the tow lot. Same as a vehicle sitting overnight with no ticket in the window (if they don’t clear the lot nightly, they typically expect you to display your ticket in the front window).

@xan@xantronix.social @TechTangents@dialup.space I doubt we will ever go back to how things were, but the oppressive flood will certainly be subdued.
